Testimonial for Lynn Christensen, CD(DONA), CLC, LCCE
I have only positive things to say about Lynn. She is so wonderful. She loves what she does and is truly passionate about being a doula. She came to me highly recommended by my childbirth educator. I was so happy she was available with just a few weeks notice because I decided at 35 weeks pregnant that I wanted a doula present for my first labor and delivery.
During the prenatal period Lynn was informative and really got to know my husband, myself and my birth plan. She also took the time to learn my philosophy on pregnancy and we really planned for L&D because as she put it, the less surprises, the better it would be for mom & baby when the time comes. Lynn provided me with a specially made binder chock full of resources for the prenatal, L&D and postpartum period.
Lynn's philosophy on childbirth was right in line with my birth plan. I hoped for a natural, nonmedicated, peaceful childbirth and that's exactly what I got. Lynn was instrumental in this. She supported me physically, mentally and emotionally. She advocated for me when I felt exhausted. She also supported my husband; they were a team along with my midwife caring for me. My husband and I are so thankful she attended the birth of our son. Lynn utilized counter pressure, aromatherapy and used various position changes to help me feel comfortable. I really loved my birth experience.
Lynn stayed with me for an hour after birth and helped me to try and get my son latched. She followed up with me via text for the first few weeks postpartum, answered all my questions and asked how the now 3 of us were doing. I felt so cared for by her. I also enjoyed the teas she gave me, including the pregnancy tea and abundant milk production tea. A week after my son's birth Lynn sent me my birth story written in her perspective; this was so special and I can't wait to share it with my son!
I highly recommend Lynn. I wouldn't hesitate to have her attend a future birth of mine.
